Personal Post #5: The hunt continues

Let's recap:

In 4 days, I have my last final

In 10 days, I am walking at my long awaited college graduation

In 14 days, I will be without a job and a place to live (as of now)

I am stressing out... a LOT

I have yet to pack and clean.

My supervisors are toying with my resume to give it a little more BANG. The content it is there, just needs some jazzing up a bit. I've gotten an email back from Target in Biltmore saying that the positions have all been filled but I applied to two Target stores. I'm submitted two more apps last week and I plan on calling them later this week. Tomorrow, my boyfriend and I are looking at an apartment in Mesa, near the Light Rail, with cheap rent. There is also a place near him that has an opening. He is calling later tonight to talk to them.

It's stressful to say the least. I also have estranged family coming in and I have no idea how that is going to turn out. I'm really hoping that my brother will be helpful and help me move into my new place. If I have one by then.

In addition to all of this, I also have closing to do for my residents.

The next 10 days are gonna be interesting to say the least.

Final Stretch

In less than... three weeks, school will be over and I will be graduating and attempting to live as an adult.

To say the least, I'm anxious, nervous and scared out of my mind.

I've been applying for jobs, both ASU related and non-ASU related. I applied last week and a bunch on Tuesday. I'm hoping and praying that I get a reply. When I get back from class today, I'll also be applying to Fry's, Starbucks, Safeway, and Target. I'm really hoping for a call back from someone.

I've also been looking for places to live. I was going to get a three bedroom apartment with my boyfriend and a mutual friend of ours. That fell through and I kinda went into a panic cause I wasn't entirely sure that my boyfriend wanted to get a 2 bedroom place with me or not. Working the desk is kinda of a bad place to really freak out. I've been looking at studio apartments in the area and 2 bedroom places. Getting a 2 bedroom is cheaper (about $300 each) than getting two studio or 1 bedroom places near campus.

In addition to job hunting and apartment hunting, I have papers and presentations to deal with. I have the papers done, I just have to make revisions and prepare for presentation and it's very stressful. I don't like the end of the year that much.

Night Owl working mornings

I'm naturally a night owl. I like to stay up late and sleep in to about noon. I work better at night.

Since I was a freshmen, I always worked the graveyard shifts, 2-6am, 12-4am. They were stressful hours. I would never sleep beforehand so I would just stay up all hours of the night and sleep in the next morning. That worked okay until I got the CA postion. Since CAs have to be on duty and can't work the desk when they are on duty, I couldn't not work the late night shifts. I was alright with that, I like to sleep like any other 23 year old.

However, after working those hours for several years, I grew tired of the hours and decided to change. I work mornings now. 6-8, 8-12, 10-2pm... and 4-6 am hours. It's a little hard for me to wake up sometimes and on Thursdays I work 6 hours with a three hour break between two shifts. I still retain my night owl ways so staying up late and getting up early is very hard for me.

I'm hoping my next job I have a little bit more regular hours.. in the day time.
